An all time favourite - Baume & Mercier Baumatic
This watch in person looks stunning AF! There is a chronometer certified variant too. In my opinion, this is the perfect dress watch for all 5 days of the week.
Those looking for a high performance COSC certified, this one is a no brainer.

Very very nice...
I have been contemplating a Baum Et Mercier Classima for a few months now as a dress watch...but this more elegant face just made me do a double take..
I just recently went down a B&M rabbit hole this past weekend. The Clifton Moonphase Date with the white dial is stunning!! And as you pointed out, a great price point for what you're getting.
I want to see that porcelain-like white dial in person. I’m not sure about it, but I am intrigued.
I also think this watch doesn’t really know what it wants to be. It’s not really a full on dress watch in my view but not really a sports watch either. The small Arabic minutes numbers at the edge of the dial seem a bit weird to me. If they weren’t there, the watch could pass for a dress watch (albeit a bit large at 40mm) but they make the watch look a bit sportier. I guess for someone who wants a do it all piece and does not need a true dress watch that this could work.
I also wonder about legibility based on photos I have seen. Particularly for the silver hands against the white dial.
